well, a big enough asteroid kills everyone, so factoring in that possiblity skews the odds

since the odds to win are still something like one in four, I assume the odds of the asteroid thing is one in ten or so. this means I have a one in forty chance to be hit by an asteroid while claiming my prize. I'll chance it
